iTunes receipts are an example, but an easily reproduced one - this also happens with other emails with tables in them. Basically, printing the email on Outlook Mac 2011 gives cut off output when printing on A4. It may also do the same on Letter paper which is even narrower. The only way to get around this is to select to print Landscape, turning an iTunes receipt into a 2-page document.

I often get receipts for stuff on emails and this is a frequent problem - I have to print them to submit the eligible ones for expenses (e.g. when I renew the TomTom Traffic Sub). Why does it print so badly? This was never an issue with Outlook 2010 for Windows and it's just a case of printing a table correctly but it seems to be a real issue.

By the way, printing also seems to ignore me if I say to print at a %age of the original size so I can't say to print the email at 85% or similar so that it would fit - it is still truncated at the same place. If I reduce the size of a text email then it works fine.

The printer is a Canon MP610 by the way but this also happens if I generate a PDF so I don't think it's a driver issue.

Any advice appreciated on this - I am getting to the point of copying / pasting the emails into Word to print them (which works fine)...
